2 days and counting... we leave Tuesday for the Minneapolis, and Wed. for Ireland - yay!

All the nights are set up. First night, Croke Park Hotel in Dublin, second and third nights, Toomullin House, Doolin, County Clare,  (4 pubs, 2 nights <g>); fourth night Ashford Castle north of Gallway; fifth night Old Castle House, Glin, County Limerick; sixth night Green Gables Victorian house in Tralee, County Kerry; seventh night - Carberry B&B, New Ross, County Wexford. Eighth night - Carlton Hotel, Dublin. And then we're back to the United States.

We will be in every county where anyone from any of ours families has come from! Mike's family mostly from Kerry and Cork, mine from Wexford. Lots of pubs and shops and ruins and dolmens and bicycling and water and rivers and bogs.

Stay tuned...
